“It was the best day of my life,” Maslany toldEntertainment Tonightabout working with theTraumazinerapper. “It was so great. I was and am a massive fan of hers, and when Jessica [Gao,She Hulk: Attorney at Lawcreator] told me that was a thing that she had written into the script, I nearly died, like, I couldn’t even deal with it.”
The moment skyrocketed the show into the top Twitter trends of the day, thanks mostly to delighted fans.
Of course, there were some viewers who hated the moment and knocked the show for tone — ironic considering the week’s episode addressed toxic fandom, specifically the misogyny targeted at female superheroes.
In a montage at the beginning of the episode, interviews and social media messages from men attacked Walters for taking the parole case of Emil Blonsky, a.k.a. Abomination (Tim Roth), essentially saying a man could do a better job. One social media post within the faux montage read, “So we have a #MeToo movement and now all my male heroes are gone???”

In an interview withThe Hollywood Reporterprior to the show’s launch, Gao said she knew there would be trolls who picked at the show. But, she was over it after experiencing online hate during her time onRick and Morty.
“Really, it’s just about caring about the people who you know will appreciate the work,” she toldTHR. “We’re making it for the audiences who want to see this, who love the character or just want to have a good time watching a show. You can’t please everybody — and you’re never going to make a good thing if you try to [do that].”
